For the 50th episode, Jon and Randy share short stories and facts that were to small to fill an entire episode. It’s like 15ish small episodes for the low price of one (even though they’re free anyway).
There’s “crazy,” and then there’s Phil Spector. Randy tells some of the craziest stories about the man behind The Wall of Sound, and Jon looks at whether Blur’s hit “Song 2″ was intended to mock American audiences.
Were two of the most iconic rock songs of the last 30 years ripped off from an Australian band? Did Pink Floyd intend their album The Dark Side of the Moon to sync up with The Wizard of Oz?
Did Steven Tyler write the lyrics to “Walk This Way” on the wall of a stairwell? And did Bachman-Turner Overdrive really get a pizza delivery guy to record the piano part on “Takin’ Care of Business”?
How did Weird Al learn the plot of “The Phantom Menace” before it hit theaters? And was Everclear’s mid-’90s hit “Santa Monica” about singer Art Alexakis’ girlfriend’s suicide?
